THE ANARCHISTS.
A Few Facts CpncerD'ng the Lives Of
the Criminals

Few Facts CpncerD'ng the Lives Of
the Criminals.
The terrible re possibility of being the
local leader of the Chicago Anarchists, the
murderers of members of the police force of
that city, is carrie by August Spies This
man was born at Basel, Germany, in 1855
be went to Chicago when he was II. and
learned the trade of saddle maker, but threw
up this occupation after two years and went
on Il tramp through the West and South As
an agitator it WIS easy for him to obtain
employment in the Office of the daily organ
OF the Socialists. While working for the
paper. he began to study the scientific side of
socialism, and otherwise to improve
MS education One year later, he
was business manager of the paper
and in 1878 he obtained the editorial
control When Johann Most went 70 Chicago
the first time. he found in Spies an only too
willing blower. Spies gradually changed
the Politics and tone of the paper until 1T be-
came the nouthplece of dynamiters and the
most dangerous classes. Later, he published
newspapers both in German and English.
A. r. Parsons, one of the most rabid of the
agitators, whose inflammatory speech in Chi
cago was the melting cause of the riots, was
native of Massachusetts,, about As years of
age. He made his appearance in the coke
regions Of Pennsylvania during the strike of
the Hungarians, and, it is alleged, is respon-
:itle for the riots and destruction of property
there at that time. He is also known to have
performed the most active part in melting the
Hooking Valley miners to their acts of VIC
lence. In Chicago, during the winter of
1886, he edited the Alarm. Like the
Arbeiter Zeitung, the Alrrm gave iustruc-
lions in the manufacture of dynamite and
dynamite bombs Not only was Parsons
the most rabid of his iIk, but he was also the
most dangerous. He was dead shot"
and was for years scout in Texas. Al

FOUR Anarchists are dead. Parsons, Fischer,
Engel and Spies have been hanged. Their
scaffold drop fell at 1l5i o'clock Friday
morning, Nov. IL.
The active preparations for the execution
began at s o'clock, when Chief Bailiff Ca
hill arrived at the Jail and assigned the depu-
ty sheriffs to their various positions during
the event. 1t was announced that Jailer Folz
with Deputies Galpin, Spears, and Cleve-
land, would conduct the prisoners to the
scatfold and superintend the hanging
Deputy Leibrandt and five other deputies
were assigned to guard the main entrance to
the criminal court building. To guard the
stairs and court yard were assigned eight
deputies. Inside the Jail proper were placed
Is deputies
About 800 cards of admission to the execu-
lion were issued by Sheriff Matson out of at
least thousand applications. The persons
favored with the cards were members of the
press, all the judges of the courts, city and
county officials, all members of the Anar-
chist jury who were in the city and wished
10 attend, the special jury provided by law,
the members of the grand jury which re-
turned the original indictments, counsel for
the condemned men, few clergymen, and a
number of prominent citizens. The cards of
admission named 10 o'clock in the morning
rs the hour of execution.
Spies, Parsons, Engell and Fischer marched
10 the gallows on Friday at 11.49 and at
l154 were dead.
At last the law is satisfied and the death
Of four of the Anarchists on the gal

6lment of the decree of the wisest tribunals
Of the greatest country in the world What
over may be the opinions of individuals as to
the merits of the case, it is, perhaps, a
Just, although hard, fate for men en-
gagged in an affair of so disastrous conse-
9uences. Terror of the worst kind reigned in
Chicago during the demonstrations of the
Anarchists in May, 1856, and when the po-
lice obeyed instructions to enforce order, the
deadly bombs made the sad havoc that cost
many lives.

Judge Gary and State Attorney Grinnell
joined in plea for executive clemency for
Fieden. Judge Garv's letter was as follows:
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 8, 1887.
Hon. Richard j. Oglesby, Governor-Sir.
On the application of Samuel Fielden for
,ommutation of his sentence, it is not neces-
ary as to the case itself that l should do
more than to refer o the decision of the su-
preme court for history Of his crime Out
tide of what is there shown, there
Is the nature and private character
# the man. A natural love of Justice,
an impotence at all undeserved suffering,
IN impulsive temper, and an intense love of,
md thirst for, the applause of his b carers,
made him an advocate of force as a he roic
remedy for the hardships that the poor
IN lure In his own private life he was tho
honest, industrious and peaceable laboring
man, What he said in court before sentence
was respectful and decorous His language
and conduct have since been lrreproachable.
As there is no evidence that he knew of
prepa ion to do the specific act of throw
ing the bomb that killed began, he does not
understand even now that general advice to
large masses to do violence makes him re-
;ponsible for the violence done by reason of
that advice, nor that being joined with
others in an effort to subvert law and order
by force makes him responsible for the acts
Of those others tending to make that effort
effectuai In short, he was more mis-
guided enthusiast than a criminal, I'M
conscious of the horrible nature and
effect of his teachings and of his
responsibility therefor. What shall be done
in his case is partly question of humanity
and partly question Of state policy, upon
which, it seems to me, action on the part of
your excellencv favorable to him is justifia-
ble / attach this to a copy of his petition
TO your excellency, and refer you to that for
what he says of the change that has come
upon himself. Respectfully yours, etc,

An Angelic Old Lady.

The face of the Empress of Brazil i'm
proves as she advances in years, says
Truths Paris correspondent. She used
to be plain, commonplace little woman.
But she has now really heavenly coun-
tenance, and one might fancy that
angels wings were ready to sprout from
her shoulder blades. Her hair is nearly
snow white. When l first saw her,
years ago, it was yellowish, streaked
with silver. She wears cap, fastened
on with diamond pins which strike one
as fire balls, and dress with body
neither high nor low. 1t ought to
be elegant, but hardly looks so, the
draperlcs and festoons of rich point lace
notwithstanding. She recognized
number of old friends, to whom she
beckoned with her fan to come and stay
near her, and whenever there was an
interval in the theatrical and musical
entertainment prepared for her, and
Dom Pedro she turned round, with soft
grace and kindness, to chat with them
l should say that this Maria Theresa is
not taller than our Queen. She is not
thin, though not what one would call
stout But there is a shade of asceti
cism in the countcnance which Is
picturesque, and makes her interesting.
1t does not arise from severity toward
the ladies' of her court and the sinners
of her capital, but I should say, from
observance of the fasts of the church.
Notwithstanding the weight of his
tall and ponderous body, the
Emperor looks we'll, though
he has aged since last here. It's
a blessing of heaven, he feels, to have
short, active body, when tho inner man
is beginning to realize that he has had
enough of physical activity and wants
rest. The Emperor's beard has whitened
almost as much as the Empress hair. l
suppose there never was more COM
plete realization of the John Anderson,
my Jo," than this august pair offers.
Yet their match was certainly not love
one, and in the early start the Empress
was almost jealous of her husbands de-
votion to science. He might not, per-
haps, have turned out the scientist and
sage that he is, had he as youth come
to the old world, seen some paragon of
beauty, fallen in love with her and car
ried her off to Brazil to place the impe-
rial crown upon her head.

Now, physicians OF the highest standing
admit, and dare publish to the world, their
belief in the efficacy of that professional bete
noir, the proprietary medicine.
The late DR.. j. G. Holland, an educated
physician, some years ago wrote in Scribner's
Mdgasine, of which he was editor: ut rs a
fact that many of the best proprietary med
icines of the day are more successful than
many physicians, and most of them were
first discovered and used in actual medical

Millions of people all over the world con-
firm this statement.
The celebrated DR.. r. A. Gum, Of the
Medical College of New York, in his pub
lished book, recommends the use of Warmers
safe cure in cases of bright's disease, and
other kidney disorders, and says he knows
the remedy is used by leading physicians. 1t
not only cures kidney disease but the many
other common named diseases which would
not prevail were the kidneys sound.
That great public teacher, DR.. .Dio Lewis,
had the courage to write to the proprietors
